Originally from the small mountain town of Running Springs, California, with a population of fewer than 4,000, Carmella’s journey into fashion began far from the traditional industry epicenters. At just 18, she was discovered by an agent and soon relocated to Los Angeles, where she launched her modeling career and quickly established herself within the international fashion scene. Carmella has collaborated with brands such as Max Mara, Roberto Cavalli, Stella McCartney, Ferragamo, Dolce & Gabbana, Alo, Off-White, Alberta Ferretti, Bvlgari, Armani, and more. She has been involved in campaigns for leading beauty and fashion names including Prada Beauty, Carolina Herrera, Dolce & Gabbana Beauty, Ipsy, and Dermalogica. Beyond fashion, Carmella is deeply connected to the ocean. In her free time, she is an avid free diver and actively involved in ocean conservation initiatives.
